How we measure
An AI model reads each new ad's text (start date as reported by Meta) and names its opening hook and its selling angle; only confident labels count (0.5 or more). Shares are of the week's labelled ads. The week before is the same days, as the index held them at the same point in that week. A change is shown only when both weeks were labelled by the same AI model at a similar coverage of new ads, and a hook is called rising only when it gained at least 1 point with a statistically clear change (z ≥ 2.5). A list needs 1,000 labelled ads (300 in a niche).
Every number is a count of Meta ads in the AdLibrarySpy index (the ads of the online stores it tracks), not a census of all of Meta. A ranking with too little data behind it is not published.
